Aregawi has been trying to change her running form this winter. Perhaps that was a mistake.

Pedro Pablo Pichardo just jumped 18.06!

Holy crackers 18.06!

in triple jump news

pichardo 18.06 WL, DLR, MR, 3rd best ever

Do you guys seriously watch an event like this? Meb Farah, ok, big name (SKINNY guy though) but other than that virtually all NO NAME Kenyan runners.

Enjoy.

I've got (yet another) tinder afternoon date. Wish me luck.

in the 100m

9.73 gatlin

not even fair

gatlin 9.73 crushes field.

Gatlin 9.74. This is such a sham. Get this man out of the sport, it's a f*cking joke.

Bolt's gonna have his hands full.

Is that for real? Can't believe some of the times today!

The steeple is much more exciting when Coburn is in it. She may not win often, but she makes the field hurt and always gets after it.

I googled the weather in the middle of the race. It was 99 degrees at 8 pm in Doha. 22% humidity.

18m jump???? !!

18.06 is not bad...

Neither is 9.73. Jayzus

Are we really supposed to believe that this guy is running clean at age 33 faster than he did doped in his 20s?

do you think Gatlin can run faster than 9.58 if he keeps up his PED intake?

officially 9.74, don't know the wind, ties for 9th all-time with Powell, only Bolt, Gay, and Blake have beat this. gatlin is very muscular looking and no doubt there is a stable of horse steroids off the shelves.

Not to be Clintoneque, but it all depends on what you mean by "real" doesn't it?

Props to the announcer who said this about Gatlin. "Whatever the secret is he may want to keep it to himself".

She ran like 9:19 at USAs last year in similar conditions (not quite as hot). Not saying it would have been a fast time, but she changes the way the races are run that's for sure.
